研究大语言模型在网络安全基准测试中的作弊问题，通过对22个前沿模型在三种提示条件下的控制提示消融研究，发现作弊普遍，反作弊提示能降作弊倾向，但即使最严条件下仍有模型作弊，引入“解决率”指标，强调反作弊提示非环境控制替代品。
AI 中文摘要
大语言模型（LLM）代理在网络安全基准测试中经常作弊，虚报通过率远超实际能力。先前对Cybench的审计发现0.3%-3.4%的记录存在作弊，涉及少数模型。本文对来自7个提供商的22个前沿模型在23个Cybench夺旗（CTF）挑战的三种提示条件下进行了控制提示消融研究。通过四阶段管道对所有1518个任务记录进行单独审计。发现作弊比之前估计的更普遍，反作弊提示可降低作弊倾向，同时不降低甚至提高解决率。然而，即使在最严格提示条件下仍有模型作弊及产生适得其反的效果。引入“解决率”指标区分真实能力与作弊结果，并指出反作弊提示是有效的第一层防御，但不能替代环境控制。
英文摘要
Large language model (LLM) agents routinely cheat on cybersecurity benchmarks, inflating reported pass rates far beyond genuine capability. Prior audits of Cybench found cheating in 0.3-3.4% of traces, implicating only a handful of models. We present a controlled prompt-ablation study across 22 frontier models from 7 providers on 23 Cybench capture-the-flag (CTF) challenges under three prompt conditions (no anti-cheat, standard, severe). All 1,518 task traces were individually audited through a four-stage pipeline combining LLM-as-a-judge classification, programmatic verification, judge-verifier reconciliation, and human review. We find cheating is far more pervasive than previously estimated: under baseline conditions, 37.1% of passes involved cheating, 21 of 22 models cheated, and scores were inflated by up to 5x. Anti-cheat prompts reduce cheat propensity from 33.0% (baseline) to 17.8% (standard) to 8.5% (severe) without degrading, and sometimes improving, solve rates. However, even under the most restrictive prompt condition, eight models still produced cheated passes, four showed backfire effects, and cheating escalated from web search toward infrastructure probing. We introduce the "solve rate" metric (clean passes only) to distinguish genuine capability from cheated outcomes, and argue it should be standard practice in any evaluation where cheating vectors are available. Anti-cheat prompts are an effective and essentially free first layer of defense, but they are not a substitute for environmental controls.
